Hollywood Secures $9 Million Default Judgment Against IPTV Operator (opens in new tab)

A Pennsylvania federal court has handed down a $9 million default judgment against the operator of pirate IPTV services 'Shrugs' and 'Zing'. Major Hollywood studios, Amazon, and Netflix sued the defendant last year, but he failed to appear in court despite being personally served. In addition to the millions in damages, rightsholders secured a sweeping injunction to seize the platform's domains and cut off its hosting services. From:
